Problems solved by technology

Even through many of these plant hangers are advertised as being suitable for outdoor use, many are not.
A problem with this type of arrangement is that each of the straps are allowed to move independent of one another, thus if any one strap moves to far, the potted plant may fall from the hanger.
This is undesirable for many reasons, specifically, this is undesirable because in the event that the lower plate is jarred or bumped, the potted plant may shift on the lower plate thereby applying a force to the belts holding the potted plant on the lower plate in which the belts may spread due to the applied force and the potted plant may fall from it's suspended position.
This is undesirable because the falling plant may injure a person standing nearby.
Therefore, in the event of a windstorm or an external force, the potted plant may fall from the hanger, potentially causing injury to a nearby bystander.
